PROVO — Syracuse’s Hunter Woodall had a state record, a scholarship from the University of Arkansas and a pair of Paralympic medals before his final state track meet Saturday at BYU.
What else was left to do?
Break his own record, of course.
Woodall ran a state-record 21.17-second 200-meter dash, as well as a 46.34 400-meter, to finish off his high school career in style.
“It’s been crazy. Coming in from yesterday, we ran a lot of hard races. My body was tired.
“At this point, we couldn’t run with our legs anymore; we had to run with our hearts. We had to run for the people on our backs and our chests. That’s what was going to pull us to the line.”
Hunter Woodhall broke 2 of his own state records today in the 200M and 400M. He's leaving Syracuse on a pretty high note. @hunterwoodhallpic.twitter.com/KBm445nuXi
